BUFFALO BILLS (6-10)UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: WR Deonte Thompson Tytus Howard Houston Texans Jersey , OGs Ryan Groy and John Miller, OT Jordan Mills, RB Taiwan Jones, DT Kyle Williams (retired), CB Vontae Davis (retired).RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS: TE Logan Thomas Vyncint Smith Jersey , CB Lafayette Pitts, DL Eddie Yarbrough, LB Deon Lacey, P Matt Darr.NEEDS: With their quarterback position finally (hopefully?) settled following Josh Allen’s rookie season, Bills can begin filling various needs around him. And after spending past two years purging high-priced and underachieving players Jordan Thomas Jersey , they also have money to spend, though GM Brandon Beane maintains he’ll be “judicious.” It starts with upgrading patchwork offensive line that was unable to offset abrupt losses of C Eric Wood (career-ending injury) and LG Richie Incognito (retirement) in 2018. Buffalo has begun adding linemen after signing Spencer Long to three-year contract last month. Receiver is another issue after Kelvin Benjamin’s production deteriorated — he was cut with month left in season. Bills added to offense by agreeing to sign RB Frank Gore and TE Tyler Kroft. Gore, 35, joins 30-year-old LeSean McCoy to form NFL’s oldest backfield tandem. Kroft joins team that was carrying one tight end, Jason Croom. On defense Brandon Dunn Jersey , Buffalo’s thin at linebacker. With starting job open opposite Tre’Davious White, Bills reached agreement to sign former Texans cornerback Kevin Johnson.AVAILABLE SALARY CAP SPACE (approximately): $70.6 million, though the anticipation is Bills will target mid-range free agents and avoid making splash they did in signing DE Mario Williams to six-year, $100 million contract seven years ago. The Texans ensured that linebacker Jadeveon Clowney wouldn’t leave the team as a free agent this year by using the franchise tag on him earlier this month, but his future with the franchise beyond 2019 remains unclear.Clowney can sign a long-term deal with the Texans through July 15 Dylan Cole Jersey , although word earlier this year was that the Texans preferred to let this season play out before making that kind of commitment. The idea behind that approach would presumably be to see if Clowney remains healthy and productive, but head coach Bill O’Brien said on Tuesday from the league meetings in Arizona that the team plans to work toward an agreement this offseason.O’Brien acknowledged that won’t be a simple process.“It’ll be interesting,” O’Brien said, via the . “We try to do the best we can to represent our organization in the best way possible relative to each player.”O’Brien said he hopes to see Clowney on April 15 when the team opens offseason workouts, but that seems unlikely unless contract talks take a big leap in the next couple of weeks.
